    Does anyone wear gloves for sweaty hands on hiking poles?

    Cat, I wore thin white gloves on both my summer Camino and they work very well. Not only do they assist in gripping the poles, as they can be rinsed at almost every water source and dry in minutes, they also make a great face wipe, spec cleaners. I already had a pair of white cotton military...

    Start in Irun or San Sebastian - WWYD?

    Why bring a suitcase, you're not too clear on this point. Are you packing your backpack in a suitcase for the flight? If so, use a cardboard packing box, same size. take tape to seal it up after customs check and dump it in a bin when you arrive in Spain. Do the same when you've finished. Or buy...

    Speaking French on the Le Puy Route

    In all respect, I know the French culture rather well. Having notes written on cards is a good idea, just handing them over and not trying to communicate is not. Much better to practice your French and struggle through. IMHO :)

    Thoughts on Sketching Along Your Camino.

    An interesting kit, Theresa. I don't think I'd use the folding watercolour sheets, i'd not be able to mix as I like, and I can imagine the mess were I to drop the pad in the rain. This is the best travel paint box I've found and used for over 20 years...

    That's the beauty of sketching, you don't need to be able to draw, just doodle.

    I'd still take a small camera with you. They are so light and you'll have lots of great memories to capture.

    Thoughts on Sketching Along Your Camino.

    I often get asked about the painting gear I take with me when backpacking, and the art items I took on my two Caminos. While there is no one perfect art-pack to take with you whether for a single day’s hiking or a long month plus on the Camino, a small pack of well chosen item could help you...

    How Does the Food Rate? Poll !

    I found the food along the Camino offered to the pilgrims very dull and boring. Many cafe owners seemed too bone idle to make the effort and the restaurant used the cheapest cuts of fatty meat and bone filled chicken. It's my last day today, I'm looking forward to food cooked with herbs, spices...

    What items are you glad/wish you had brought?

    I have a thin pair of white cotton gloves, (military dress gloves are good) - excellent for moping brow, sun shade for hands, cleaning sun glasses, keeping hands warm on chilly mornings and a few other uses. Portable bidet!!! :shock: Take a small 25 ml plastic bottle, remove the tube inside...

    Hi Jax, I'm on the camino now, I started from Lisbon a week ago and have taken a rest day at Fatima. Alone the way I lost, found and lost the markCamino. so gave up on them and just made my own way. It was pretty boring until Pernes, and nice after Minde. I have stayed with the Bombeirous...
